Yes, fire breaks are a good tool to fight an active forest fire.
Forests can use a little help after the largest fires in recorded history happened. Forests can't regenerate properly when that happens.
It sounds like they are taking a page out of the Irvings book.
The trees haven't even been given a chance to grow and people (the article doesn't mention experts only industry and municipalities) want to cut them down. No where is there a mention of best practices.
When the Lumber Industry , municipal, provincial and federal governments come together in Québec after the worst forest fires in 50 years to alleviate our carbon pollution crisis. It’s more than Irving’s playbook being forced to the masses in the maritimes. There’s a consensus in the making in “la belle province “.
